The NJM3773 is a switch-mode (chopper), constant-current
driver with two channels: one for each winding of a two-phase
stepper motor. The NJM3773 is also equipped with a Disable
input to simplify half-stepping operation. The circuit is well
suited for microstepping applications together with an external
micro controller. The current control inputs are low current,
high impedance inputs, which allows the use of unbuffered
DAC or external high resistive resistor divider network. The
NJM3773 contains a clock oscillator, which is common for
both driver channels, a set of comparators and flip-flops
implementing the switching control, and two output H-bridges,
including recirculation diodes. Voltage supply requirements
are +5 V for logic and +10 to +45 V for the motor. Maximum
output current is 750mA per channel.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each channel of the NJM3773 consists of the following sections: an output H-bridge with four transistors and four
recirculation diodes, capable of driving up to 750 mA continuous current to the motor winding, a logic section that
controls the output transistors, an S-R flip-flop, and a comparator. The clock-oscillator is common to both channels.
Constant current control is achieved by switching the output current to the windings. This is done by sensing the
peak current through the winding via a current-sensing resistor R
S
, effectively connected in series with the motor
winding. As the current increases, a voltage develops across the sensing resistor, which is fed back to the com-
parator. At the predetermined level, defined by the voltage at the reference input V
R
, the comparator resets the flip-
flop, which turns off the upper output transistor. The turn-off function of the two channels works independently of
each other. The current decreases until the clock oscillator triggers the flip-flops of both channels simultaneously,
which turns on the output transistors again, and the cycle is repeated.
To prevent erroneous switching due to switching transients at turn-on, the
NJM3773 includes a digital filter. The clock oscillator provides a blanking pulse which is used for digital filtering of
the voltage transient across the current sensing resistor during turn-on.
The current paths during constant current switching and phase shift are shown in figure 3.
